Hvis du sætter lige så meget pris på bæredygtighed, som vi gør, vil du gerne holde dit FELCO-værktøj i god stand og minimere spild ved at bruge et værktøj, hvor alle dele – fra klingen og fjederen til den mindste skrue – er udskiftelige Rely on FELCO proprietary heat treating and hardening to provide you with a long lasting ultra-sharp cutting edge Comfortable light sturdy handles made of forged aluminium with a lifetime guarantee, cutting blade and riveted anvil blade made of high quality hardened steel, clean precise cut, all parts can be replaced. These all-metal pruners have a three-stage ratcheting mechanism, which greatly reduces the force required to use them, meaning that they are ideal even for those with weak or painful hands. The handles are aluminum with a comfortable grip coating, and at 8.26 inches in length, they are a good fit for most hands. These are anvil-style pruners, so rather than the blades passing each other in a scissoring action, the moving blade chops straight down against the grooved surface of the stationary blade, which requires less hand pressure while increasing the cutting force. These sturdy pruners have a maximum cutting capacity of 1.5 inches.

Using bypass secateurs on large, dead material and you could end up damaging them. Using bypass secateurs on this plant material will also put strain n your joints and tendons.

A few pruners, including the Fiskars PowerGear 2 Pruner, have rotating or rolling handles, which means that the pruner is ergonomically designed to move with your fingers’ natural motions as you work. This makes the pruners easier to use for those with arthritis or hand weakness. However, some gardeners find the rolling motion to be awkward or take awhile to get used to the feeling of the tool slightly rotating within their grasp as they open and close their fingers. The Model 2 secateurs are solid pruning shears. The razor sharp, strengthened carbon steel blades give a crisp, effortless, clean cut through stems, roses, shrubbery and light branches. This is something to consider especially if looking at cheap secateurs. In my experience, one lost spring or a malfunctioning safety catch and the secateurs is for the bin.

Carbon blades will keep an edge to them longer (less time between sharpening) and are less prone to snapping when under pressure.Riveting the counter blade onto the one-piece forged aluminium handle ensures your FELCO tool is robust enough for heavy-duty pruning The handles are aluminum wrapped in a soft plastic that provides some cushioning to your hand as well as improves your grip. While these don't have any mechanism to make squeezing the handles through stems easier, most buyers felt the pruners were easy to use. However, a few people said that these bypass pruners didn't hold up well to rigorous use and that the spring broke while they were trying to cut through a small branch. The pruners are 8 inches long, which is suitable for most hands other than very small or very large. They are best used to cut through live stems and greenery, rather than dead wood. These ratcheting hand pruners from The Gardener's Friend are designed to be very easy to use even if you struggle with hand weakness. The ratcheting design means that the blades "catch" slightly as they are closed, so the blades help provide the squeezing force, rather than requiring your hands to exert all the effort on their own. That means it's much easier to cut through greenery or small branches up to an inch in diameter. On the downside, a few buyers complained that the blades aren't sharp enough.
